More About Traffic Cones

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the standard sizes and colours of traffic cones in Australia?

The standard traffic cones are typically 900mm in height and marked in bright orange color. Smaller cones, around 450mm, are also used for various purposes.

2. Are there regulations for using traffic cones in Australia?

Yes, each state has regulations and guidelines set by Australian Standards and road agencies. These regulations specify the appropriate use, placement, and visibility requirements for traffic cones. To learn more about about traffic cone laws please read temporary traffic management at Austroads.

3. How do they work?

Traffic cones act like warning signs, alerting us to potentially dangerous areas and/or changes in traffic flow. They serve as signals for closed roads or prohibited areas, which helps prevent accidents and damage.

They can be paired with accessories like lights, signs, and attachments to increase visibility further and draw attention in high-traffic areas.

4. How often do we use traffic cones?

Traffic cones are used regularly in a variety of situations. They come into play when disruptions occur in areas where vehicles and pedestrians frequently interact. You've probably seen them in construction zones, near roadwork, or even in busy stores and restaurants. They're bright orange and tall, so they're hard to miss. That's why they're important and recommended by safety experts.

5. Are traffic cones mandatory?

In certain circumstances, using traffic cones is mandatory, particularly where unforeseen accidents are possible. Traffic cones serve the dual purpose of redirecting oncoming traffic and creating barriers to keep the public and on-site individuals and vehicles away from potentially dangerous situations. They are often considered mandatory for effectively controlling and managing traffic and ensuring operational safety.

6. Can I use cones on private property in Australia?

Yes, you can use traffic cones on private property as needed for safety or organisation, but they must not be used to impersonate official roadwork zones or signage.

Know Your Needs Before You Buy

It's no surprise that traffic cones are the go-to item in traffic control procedures. There are few alternatives available for teams to buy that are so versatile and easy to install. And yet, there is always room for innovation, and later models made for sale have been tailored to best suit specific situations.

For example, some designs include highly reflective strips that provide visibility both at day and at night. Other designs have weighted bases for greater stability in more demanding weather conditions. Given the nature of most road environments, most cones will be constructed out of flexible, 100% PVC materials that deliver maximum safety should an impact ever occur with a vehicle.

Before you buy, review the product range and match them with your specific needs.
